README

For most things a simple setTimeout() or setInterval() is enough - but Javascript timers get throttled when the page is minimised/tabbed out of and you will end up with imprecise timings in the long run. This is where AloTimer comes in - you set a timer and poll it with as much precision as you need - while individual polling calls might get throttled, the end result will always be accurate.
